5490 12x32, 3M 5490 Brown PTFE Tape, 32.9m x 12.7mm x 0.09mm

3M Extruded PTFE Tape, 32.9m Length, 12.7mm Width - 5490 12x32

Use this PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape from 3M for coil wrapping in transformers or leak prevention in your plumbing pipes. It produces low levels of friction, reducing wear and minimising the risk of machine noise. Thanks to its good tensile strength, it can withstand high pressures, making it a sturdy choice for demanding applications. The non-stick backing leaves no residue, giving you a clean, adhesive-free surface when you remove the film. This tape also offers excellent resistance to chemicals and is water-repellent, making it ideal for ductwork applications.

Features and Benefits

• Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, so it contains only minimal traces of any harmful materials for enhanced safety• Resists curling when unwinding to provide a smooth surface and a secure hold• Thick 0.05mm backing for high resistance to wear and an extended service life• Wide operating temperature range of -65°C to +260°C for use in extreme environments

Applications

• Heating systems• Plumbing industry• Metal bonding applications

The 3M 12.7 mmx 32.9 m PTFE extruded film tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates.

How do you apply this tape to a pipe for optimal performance?

Excellent chemical resistance
Clean removal
Non-stick

This tape should be wrapped around a fitting or a join in the same direction as the thread. Make three or four turns to ensure a well-sealed connection that's not too bulky.
